Why is “Static Website Development” now attracting attention? There are three major reasons for operating a content management system (CMS) typified by Wordpress.
Security: Most CMSs are updated regularly. If the changes in the version upgrade are small, it will not cause a big problem, but if it is a major update, be careful. This may result in inconsistency with the installed plugins and extensions, which may lead to site malfunctions. For example, the page layout may suddenly collapse, or the contact form may behave strangely.
Performance: Problems such as “Slow page load speed” cannot be avoided due to the mechanism that CMS dynamically generates pages. If you have a website for now, this is not a problem. However, if you are aiming for branding and SEO through the site, you should make the site as fast as possible in order to improve the number of inflows and exits of the site as much as possible.
Maintenance: If CMS is installed, please expect the cost of “regular maintenance”. It is necessary to check compatibility with CMS version upgrades, trouble fixes, backups, and server side updates. There is also a violent notion that “we will not upgrade”, but there is a problem because the security hole is left open.
